The Competition
---------------
Each participant gets only 5-10 minutes (depending on entries). The
person who makes the best case wins! They can do whatever they want--
just as long as each presentation is about some programming language
other than Python and make at least one comparison to Python during
the talk.

See who is in the running:

There will be a cash prize for the best presentation (not the best
language, we already know that winner) given of $200. Plus you will be
considered really cool for awhile and your friends will be highly
impressed.
